Your opinion on Bodyguard 2.0 vs LCP Max?

[TwinV10]

My question is (other than capacity) if you want something to simply drop in gym shorts pocket. Why not a regular LCP? I've handled and fired all three. I've had all three in my pocket. The BG and Max feel like a mini 9 when compared to the LCP. May as well get a 365 or Hellcat.

Capacity for one.

Capacity [compared to the lcp] and WEIGHT [compared to 365]! Weight difference is huge! I have both a 2.0 and 365. For me, the 365 is a superb BELT gun. No way I can make it a pocket gun. But I do agree, the original LCPs are great pocket guns. Just not as shootable as the 2.0. YMMV

I have the BG 2.0 and after 700 rounds down range have not had one FTF or FTE, it has run flawless. Easy to carry at 3:30, pocket or Apendix.

I carry my 365 in my front pocket sometimes. Jeans or cargo pants/shorts. Couldn't do it with gym shorts though. I don't think I'd carry anything in gym shorts unless pocket had a zipper.

I have the LCP MAX. Pluses easy to carry ccw, never had a jam or failure to feed, hammer feed,good night sights, trigger is not bad in mho. Minuses I have had trouble shooting low been correcting this using the Matrix. Not pleasant to shoot after 20-30 rounds im done. In my opinion it`s a belly gun. Good luck on your decision.

I need a pocket pistol terribly. I want a 10+1 380 that I can truly throw in a draw string shorts and go out with the family.

I've been looking at the LCP Max and the BG 2.0

I really, and I mean really want to like the BG 2.0 but I've seen and read so many issues (same issues, not numerous). They are dead triggers and really poor accuracy.

Bodyguard 2.0 is the better of the two for multiple reasons. I have both.
In my opinion, the BG 2.0 is the best small .380 auto ever made.
Glock 42 is a close second.
